Do you believe in ghosts?

[nlphypno80]

I don't believe in ghosts or anything else that I can't see or that isn't proven. Many people believe in that stuff, but I don't. To me ghosts are just as fictional as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, UFO's and alien's from outer space.

I believe more in things that I know are real like business, sales & marketing, and male / Female relationships as well as things like music, movies and other related things that we can all see and experience for ourselves.

My grandmother once told me that her mother supposedly saw a ghost, but I can't say if that was true or not. I can't say that my grandmother was lying about that either because I never knew my grandmother to lie about anything. I however, just don't believe that ghosts are real. I have never seen one before and until I do see one, I am not likely to believe that ghosts are real.

And yet, your icon says you are a Christian. Where does the existence of god fall into what can be seen or proven?

That's a very fair question, but one that I at the moment do not have the answer to. I was raised to believe in the Baptist ways, but also grew up without a father and heavily influenced by the dogma of the martial arts.

I have sought answers to those kinds of questions through my local church, but without any luck. All that I have gotten is a lot of hatred and prejudice from them. They seem to think that unless you are someone like Bill Gates or Michael Dell or someone of that nature, then you are not human.

I disagree with the way that that church acts because in my book they are not acting like Christians that really believe in what the Bible has to say. They say one thing and then do another and I personally hate that and think that it is disgusting.

They are what the Bible and Jesus calls hypocrites.

Fair enough. I was also raised Baptist.
